Under the Tents: Funko, Bryan Fuller, Doctor Who, Wikia, Toucan Tip of the Day, Fat Rabbit Farms

Today, we are officially at 30 days until Comic-Con.  Make your lists, check them twice, place all orders for supplies ASAP, and break in those new shoes.  We have news about exclusives, commissions, signings, our first of 30 Toucan Tips of the Day, and more.

Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:

  • Barnes & Noble may have actually given fans a glimpse of some of this year’s Funko offerings, as they posted a photo of some “Comic Convention Collectibles” as part of their Get Pop-Cultured Month that will be available July 9-12 from Diamond Select Toys, Funko, and Titans. Sure sounds like shared SDCC exclusives to us.

  • Gene Luen Yang, a writer and comic artist best known for his work on Dark Horse’s Avatar: The Last Airbender comics, posted on Twitter that he will be at San Diego Comic-Con. The tweet also includes a link to his site that details that he will be at SDCC on July 9 and 10 and will particiapte in a panel each day and a signing on the 10th at the Dark Horse booth.

  • While participating in a Hannibal Q&A on Facebook on June 4, Fuller responded to a question that there would be a Bryan Fuller Funko Pop figure as an SDCC exclusive. It’s entirely possible that Fuller is joking – but given how much of a pop culture icon Fuller is, and how in-tune to that culture Funko is, we wouldn’t be that surprised if it turned out to be true.
